Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal transportation equipment, and in particular to a cage for transporting rare birds. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most devices used for transporting and moving small birds are simple cages or transfer cages. Typical transfer cages are made of iron, are quite heavy, and are often one-piece designs, making them inconvenient to operate. Furthermore, existing transfer cages lack adequate light-blocking, windproofing, and noise-reduction features, offering poor privacy. During long-term or long-distance transport, inadequate animal protection measures allow animals to easily perceive changes in their external environment, leading to stress reactions and potential harm. Additionally, existing transfer cages lack sound insulation and noise reduction measures, failing to provide a safe environment for the animals during transport and stacking, causing them to exhibit stress responses such as banging against the cage.

[0003] Most existing crested ibis transport cages are made of metal, which does not provide comprehensive protection for the individual birds. Crested ibises are naturally timid and particularly sensitive to unfamiliar environments. The sudden change in material can cause them to peck at the cage during transport, resulting in beak injuries. Therefore, there is an urgent need to address these issues with existing crested ibis transport cages.

[0004] Based on this, this application innovatively develops a new animal transport cage for rare birds, which can at least partially solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rare bird animal transport cage that can comprehensively improve the protection of animals in terms of light protection, sound insulation, ventilation, and impact resistance, and minimize the possibility of stress reactions in animals, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of existing animal transport cages.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a rare bird animal transport cage, including a cage body and a door body. One side of the cage body is an open end, and the door body is slidably disposed at the open end of the cage body. A locking mechanism is provided between the door body and the cage body. Both the cage body and the door body are made of wood. Several ventilation holes are provided on the side wall of the cage body and the door body. A transport isolation bar is provided on the exterior of the two opposite side walls of the cage body.

[0007] In a further improvement, symmetrical vertical sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the opening end of the box body, and the two sides of the door body are inserted into the two vertical sliding grooves to realize the opening and closing of the opening end.

[0008] In a further improvement, the bottom of the opening end of the box body is also provided with a horizontal groove that communicates with the two vertical sliding grooves. When the door is closed, its bottom is inserted into the horizontal groove.

[0009] In a further improvement, the locking mechanism includes a hinge and a latch that cooperates with it, the hinge and the latch being respectively located at the top of the door and the top of the opening of the box.

[0010] In a further improvement, the diameter of the ventilation hole is less than or equal to 1 cm.

[0011] As a further improvement, the bottom surface inside the box is provided with a biomimetic green plant mat.

[0012] As a further improvement, sound-absorbing buffer cotton is provided on the inner side wall, upper side wall and / or the inner wall of the door of the enclosure.

[0013] As a further improvement, the sound-insulating buffer cotton is provided with through holes corresponding to the ventilation holes.

[0014] As a further improvement, a lifting crossbar is provided on the upper outer side of the door body.

[0015] With this design, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This utility model of a rare bird transport cage utilizes a wooden box structure, taking advantage of wood's natural heat-insulating properties to effectively buffer against external temperature changes, reducing energy consumption caused by cold and ensuring stable body temperature for the rare birds during transport. Furthermore, compared to iron materials, the wooden structure offers significantly improved sound insulation and is lightweight for easy movement. The addition of sound-absorbing cushioning cotton inside the box further reduces external noise interference with the animals, minimizing stress responses. Moreover, the sound-absorbing cushioning cotton also prevents injuries from collisions during transport.

[0017] 2. Furthermore, the design and size restriction of the ventilation holes ensure both unobstructed breathing for the animals and prevents any part of their bodies from protruding from the cage, thus ensuring safe transportation. The external handling barriers facilitate not only individual handling but also hoisting and moving of the cages. More importantly, the handling barriers prevent the ventilation holes on the side walls from being blocked when multiple cages are stacked or items are piled around them, thus preventing suffocation due to thin air around the cage and enhancing safety.

[0018] 3. Furthermore, by laying biomimetic green plant mats at the bottom of the enclosure, the dry and hard bottom environment is reduced to some extent, which softens the animal's touch and prevents the animal from being injured by the footboard during transportation, as well as from being injured by the wet and slippery surface after defecation; the green accents are also more distinct in color than metal, which can minimize the possibility of stress reactions in the animal.

[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0025] This embodiment uses the transportation of the crested ibis as an example to specifically describe the technical solution of this utility model. The specific embodiment is as follows.

[0026] See attached document Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rare bird animal transport cage in this embodiment includes a box body 1 and a door body 2.

[0027] Both the enclosure 1 and the door 2 are made of wood, which is lightweight and has excellent sound and heat insulation properties. In this embodiment, white pine wood with smooth inner walls is used. The internal space of the enclosure 1 is designed to meet the needs of the crested ibis in a natural position, standing, turning around, or lying down, and can also effectively prevent injury to the wings caused by the crested ibis struggling due to shaking.

[0028] One side of the housing 1 is an open end, and the door 2 is vertically slidable at the open end of the housing 1, i.e., the door is a pull-up door. Specifically, the open end of the housing 1 has symmetrical vertical sliding grooves 11 on both sides, and the two sides of the door 2 are inserted into two of the vertical sliding grooves 11 to open and close the open end, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown.

[0029] Preferably, the bottom of the opening end of the box body 2 is also provided with a transverse groove 12 that communicates with the two vertical sliding grooves 11. When the door body 2 is closed, its bottom is inserted into the transverse groove 12, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the door body and the box body.

[0030] A locking mechanism 3 is provided between the door 2 and the box 1. In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 includes a hinge and a latch that cooperates with it. The hinge and latch are respectively located at the top of the door 2 and the top of the opening end of the box 1. This locking device prevents the animals from escaping during transportation and avoids the risk of unauthorized personnel opening the cage at will. It also prevents the side door from accidentally opening due to vibrations during transportation, ensuring the safety of the animals during transportation. Of course, the locking mechanism can also adopt any other existing structure, as long as it can achieve the locking function between the door 2 and the box 1.

[0031] The side walls of the enclosure 1 are provided with several ventilation holes 13. Considering the timid nature of the crested ibis, excessively large ventilation holes would allow it to sense changes in its external environment, potentially causing it to struggle and injure itself. Furthermore, the small, round holes ensure that no part of the animal's body protrudes from the cage, guaranteeing both unobstructed breathing and safe transport. Therefore, in this embodiment, the diameter of the ventilation holes 13 is less than or equal to 1 cm to enhance safety. The ventilation holes 13 also allow natural light to illuminate the interior space of the enclosure. Several ventilation holes 13 can also be provided on the door 2 to create a three-dimensional airflow circulation inside and outside the enclosure when closed, ensuring smooth ventilation.

[0032] More preferably, each of the two opposite side walls of the enclosure 1 is equipped with a transport isolation bar 14. This transport isolation bar 14 allows for simple handling by a single person, facilitating relocation during transport. The design of the transport isolation bar 14 also serves as a limiting mechanism during long-distance transport, preventing the accumulation of items that could lead to a lack of air around the cage and thus avoiding animal suffocation. The transport isolation bar 14 also increases the overall stability of the enclosure.

[0033] The inner sidewall, upper sidewall, or inner wall of the door 2 of the box body 1 are all provided with sound-absorbing buffer cotton 4, which not only isolates and protects the animals and reduces the stress response caused by environmental noise during transportation, but also reduces the damage caused by bumps and knocks to the animals under stress.

[0034] The sound insulation buffer cotton 4 has through holes corresponding to the ventilation holes 13, so as not to affect ventilation and light.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom surface inside the enclosure 1 is provided with a biomimetic green plant mat 5. This biomimetic green plant mat 5 is more novel in terms of sensory appeal and can also reduce the impact of environmental changes on animals.

[0036] The upper outer side of the gate 2 is provided with a lifting crossbar 21. This lifting crossbar 21 allows one person to open and close the gate while observing the animal, reducing the need for personnel intervention and facilitating the operation.

[0037] The door of this embodiment can also be removed for a long time. During the early stage of transportation, it can prevent animals from entering and exiting the animal activity area, allowing them to adapt to the environment inside the transport cage in advance. During daily behavior training, animals can also eat in the cage, helping them develop habits. This makes it easier to restrict the animal's activity range and observe its health status in daily work.

[0038] This embodiment of the animal transport cage serves as a transfer box for crested ibises, integrating biosafety protection and environmental simulation functions. It can be used for transporting various rare birds over long and short distances, protecting the transport safety of these birds.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes or alterations made by those skilled in the art using the above-disclosed technical content shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
